Arrange).
Using the information, task is predicted by using task prediction algorithm 120.Task can include：User needs to cry
Wake up, user's needs calm down (for example, sleep), user's needs remove meeting, user sleeps, user reads, user
Seeing that TV, user are needed using toilet, etc..
According to Figure 1B, it is then determined that appropriate illumination responses 106.Due to have determined that user task 120 (and,
Therefore, its demand), ensuing action is to combine user task with illumination rule 122 and machine learning information 124.
Appropriate illumination responses include suitable lighting model.The model is by using tradition networking illuminator (for example, different type
Bulb) and unconventional networking illuminator (for example, the electronic installation with light emitting display) combination obtaining situation simultaneously
And create suitable lighting environment.As time goes on, for the different nearness from user, the model is output as recommending
Illumination level.
According to Figure 1B, neighbouring device 108 is then detected and controls.For this purpose, implementing API (202, Fig. 2), the API permits
Perhaps in terms of 102 some for controlling each device are applied in illumination.For example, in some embodiments, illumination is used with control using 102
The lighting controller 101 of the display of family device 110 is interacted.The example of Lighting control includes：Colour temperature, brightness, display ON/OFF
And concrete symbol or message are shown in some embodiments.Therefore, optimization is close to the behavior of the illuminator of user
126, for example, as being more specifically explained in for Fig. 5, the photocurrent versus light intensity of neighbouring illuminator is controlled to meet fixed use
Family lighting demand.
API is configured to allow device to report multiple key characteristics, so that illumination can be with the figure of generating means using 102
And it is suitably used these devices：
Distance/and the position of user
Screen size
Screen orients (facing which side)
Screen type (radioactive, reflexive, electric ink)
Current state (open and close, brightness etc..)
Using the information, system can tune the illumination near user, all realize maximum benefit in emotion and function aspects.
Example 1：Emotion
Jacob wakes up for 7 points in the morning.His bedroom television is duskily lighted and shows the open air of beautiful warm colour
Image.The image makes him be happy and loosen.Out of habit, he opens mobile phone.The screen is also duskiness and all face
Color all switchs to warm colour.He has lain a period of time in bed.8 points in the morning, alarm clock on cell phone sounds, and tells that he has one at 9 points in the morning
Individual meeting.He has played individual doze.Up to the present, the brightness on his television set has increased, and illuminates whole room.Color
Become more and more yellow, more and more whiter.When alarm clock sounds again, his mobile phone reaches high-high brightness.Television set also reaches maximum
Brightness, and the lamp in room even lighted automatically.He picture wall screen of a size (for example, digital frame and when
Clock) also open.Then, Jacob looks at calendar event and recognizes that he need not remove meeting.He is replied for the meeting
"No".Screen near him keeps open mode, but rotates back into more subdued colour and brightness.
In the above examples, 102 110 receive informations of device and sensor first from the residence of Jacob are applied in illumination,

Husband.She gently leaves the bed.At once, the floor lamp near her foot is lighted, so that she can put on its slippers.Then, she
The corner of television set lights, and points to toilet with the arrow (may be with explanatory message) of duskiness.When she moves towards television set simultaneously
And when reaching corridor, the radio of toilet opens its screen, a branch of soft light is issued from toilet.She does not beat
Open a lamp and just come into toilet.When on she lies back bed, radio, television set and floor lamp are automatically switched off.
In the above examples, 102 110 receive informations of device and sensor first from the residence of Mary are applied in illumination,
The message provides device in position, Time of Day and the use of Mary etc. via API.Illumination determines Mary in bed using 102
Fall asleep.Using 102, illumination determines that she should be in sleep, via API to the illuminator (conventional and unconventional) for being close to Mary
Transmission makes the device close or open the brightness of duskiness sleep pattern and the order of colour temperature.Then, when sensor, (such as motion is passed
Sensor) when determining that Mary gently leaves the bed, illumination using 102 its light script of regulation with consider Mary current state and its
Expected task.For example, illumination sends along her path the finger for providing illumination and directivity guiding using 102 to device screen
Order, and and then, after she is had returned on bed, the instruction that device screen is closed is provided to device.As using previous
What example was discussed, in some embodiments, illumination sends instruction to control to fit to local lighting controller 101 using 102
